AI Central

You are here: Home / AI Central

What is AI Central?

AI Central is a strategic public-private-academic economic development initiative to establish North Central Florida as a national and global center for artificial intelligence (AI) and innovation.

The Future is Now.

Artificial intelligence is more than just the next wave of high-tech: it is the fuel for the fourth industrial revolution. Using AI to analyze massive amounts of data has already dramatically affected communications, accounting, finance, transportation, medicine, agriculture and more. While this initiative is beginning in Gainesville, FL, it will grow into a regional program involving the entire Innovation Corridor: Gainesville, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, and Tallahassee.

Why Gainesville?

While this initiative is beginning in Gainesville, FL, it will grow into a regional program involving the entire Innovation Corridor: Gainesville, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, and Tallahassee.  AI Central started with the University of Florida’s major, long-term investment in world-class research infrastructure, cutting-edge research and a transformational approach to curriculum. Under the proud leadership of the Greater Gainesville Chamber of Commerce, AI Central has the opportunity to establish a potentially powerful economic development program and create a national AI hub here in Greater Gainesville.
